From guarding benches to coaching in barbecue country. I’m not saying that HAS to be on Taylor Jenkins’s tombstone, but after the report from Adrian Wojnarowski that he’s been hired as the Memphis Grizzlies head coach, it’s definitely in contention.
Jenkins is third NBA head coach to come directly off of Mike Budenholzer’s coaching staff, including Utah’s Quin Snyder and Brooklyn’s Kenny Atkinson. https://t.co/gMKqRMqKt8

Jenkins rise has been pretty incredible to watch, coming from the San Antonio Spurs G-League team (he made them playoff bound) to joining Budenholzer in Atlanta and jumping ship to Milwaukee.
